The headline we actually needed: Labour targets poorly insulated homes after election losses to Reform Exclusive: Treasury understood to be drafting white paper in move to reduce energy bills, create thousands of jobs and tackle climate crisis

submitted 2 hours ago • 0 comments

Lower energy bills. Jobs in every region of Britain. Stronger energy security. A way to pushback against populists and climate deniers. Why would the UK Government even consider dropping its £6.6 billion #energyefficiency pledge? (And if it does, what’s left of Labour’s Green Prosperity Plan?)

🇦🇺 Teal Independents are driving #climateaction: Monique Ryan is pushing emissions cuts, Zali Steggall’s Climate Change Bill, Allegra Spender’s renewable energy focus, Sophie Scamps’ resilience panels, and Kate Chaney’s focus on clean energy investment. Definitely worth following.

💡 Insulate homes, use efficient appliances, adopt #renewables, change habits, audit businesses, strengthen policies, improve public transport. There are many, many ways to reduce energy demand effectively. And in ways that balance cost and climate goals as they're delivered.

6 years on, not exactly top of the agenda. Please ask your MP to push for an early day motion for the CAN bill, adjourned since January. #CANBILL #environment #climatecrisis

👏 This ruling is a huge victory for democracy. It sets an important precedent that Ministers must respect the law: they cannot simply step outside it to do whatever they wish. The next step? For the Labour Government to accept this ruling—and agree to scrap this unlawful legislation.

Tony Blair’s climate policy paper is poorly timed, confusing, and (unsurprisingly) lacks scientific expertise. Many in the media then misrepresented it, and caused a political uproar. But the TBI report flaws—not its #netzero stance—are the real issue, argues @davidrvetter.bsky.social. 👇

👥 The #CANBill citizens’ assembly would create policies that also help to: 1️⃣ counter voter alienation (the “we know best” perception) fuelling Reform’s rise 2️⃣ deliver a just transition 3️⃣ rebuild trust 4️⃣ demonstrate the benefits of action (including jobs) 5️⃣ weaken Farage’s anti #netzero stance.

📣 @labourlewis.bsky.social: “To everyone reading this—let your MP know that signing EDM 1184 matters to you. Tell them that the #CANBill isn’t just sensible policy—it’s about a liveable future. Food on our tables, homes safe from flooding, a country more secure in a rapidly changing climate.” 👇

🚨 This week marked 6 years since the UK Parliament declared an environment and climate change emergency. That urgency hasn’t faded but the UK’s policies, plans and laws resemble “business as usual”—not the emergency response we need. 📜 We need the #CANBill. 🐝 @labourlewis.bsky.social 🧵

This is really shocking from a Labour government. 👇 Sacrificing nature in the name of growth, in the interests of big business. Good to see @zero-hour.bsky.social calling for a pause on the bill. What else can concerned people do?

👇 It’s well known that #GBNews gives undue prominence to people who promote lies about climate change. This is so, so, so clearly not in the public interest—is an systemic failure of UK’s feeble broadcast regulation—and highlights, in particular, the toothlessness of Ofcom.

Every Reform vote Labour chases has a consequence to the left/green/middle - making some of current direction of travel a pointless dereliction of values. This research from @persuasionuk.bsky.social shows there can be a careful path – by recognising Reform-curious voters are not just stereotypes.
